Chapter 217: Expensive Gifts
"Testing?" After listening to the principal's words, Zhao Li was also a little eager to try.
The principal knew Zhao Li very well, including that he had not tested this kind of small details after the recruit training, which showed that he had also put a lot of effort into him. It is said that Zhao Li is just a small lieutenant colonel, at most, he can accommodate two confidantes of genius schools, and he should not have this kind of treatment, but the principal values him so much, I can't say why.
The testing room is not big compared to the practice room, but there are a lot of testing equipment, far more than what Zhao Li has seen during recruit training. At that time, it seemed that there was only one machine, and it was okay to attack, unlike here, which was divided into categories, at least a dozen. It seems that each one has its own purpose, and it is different.
"This is the basic level of testing." When Zhao Li and the principal walked to a familiar machine, and when Zhao Li reached out and touched the machine, the administrator next to him immediately got up to introduce it.
The principal also smiled and motioned to Zhao Li to test it, Zhao Li was embarrassed, and he himself wanted to know what level he was now. Nodding his head, he motioned for the administrator to debug the machine.
"Bang", Zhao Li slammed a heavy punch into the hit part of the machine. As in the boot camp last time, there was no preparation at all, a straight punch.
"Drop", the machine made a slight noise, and a green light lit up.
"Level seven!" The principal looked at the display on the other side and said Zhao Li's level with a smile.
Level seven, which is about the same as Zhao Li's own estimate. After going through so many things and breaking through a few times, it should have reached at least level seven.
"With no one to guide you in your cultivation at all times, in just a few years, you have improved from the fourth level to the seventh level in actual combat, to be honest, you are better than many of my students here." The principal's words made Zhao Li raise his vigilance again, could he see that he was also a cultivation genius?
"Many of the instruments here are professional, are you interested in trying them one by one?" The principal looked at Zhao Li with a smile.
Wouldn't all of your secrets be mastered by others? At least the data on cultivation will definitely be recorded, and Zhao Li, as the director of the Special Investigation Division, can't be investigated so easily. Shaking his head, Zhao Li rejected the principal's proposal.
"You should be at the peak of the seventh level now, but you still have to break through to reach the eighth level, maybe, I can help you with this." Zhao Li refused, and the principal was not angry, but still talked to Zhao Li about other things as if he were a family.
It's just that as soon as he said this, even the administrator next to him was a little moved. The principal personally instructed him, what a great honor! What kind of shit luck did this lieutenant colonel take? I haven't seen it before, it shouldn't be a student, is it a new student just recruited?
The principal's proposal also scared Zhao Li a lot, jumping from the seventh level to the eighth level? This is something that Zhao Li dreams of, and it is also something that countless people can't think of after reaching this point, at least Zhao Li's father has stayed at this stage, and he has not been able to break through for at least ten years, and in the mouth of the principal of the genius school, he actually said it so easily?
"A lot of times, it's just an invisible fog, and it's not very difficult to get through it." The principal was not surprised by Zhao Li's surprise, and even when many students from genius schools heard this kind of words for the first time, they were all the same surprise, but the instructors always had a way to help them break through with the simplest means.
"Do you mean the kind of approach in school?" Zhao Li asked the principal a little rudely.
"Yes!" The principal didn't care about Zhao Li's words, and quickly replied.
"Forget it then!" Zhao Li thought for a while, shook his head, and rejected the principal's kindness: "My cultivation is all realized in my life and battles, and it may not be good for me to use some tricks." Regarding the method of breaking through the eighth level of the genius school, Li Mengdie and Zhao Li said that although for geniuses, it is easy to break through with the qualifications and the acquired points, but Zhao Li does not agree with that way.
"You're special, and it's not for nothing that the old guy chose you." Zhao Li refused, but the principal was not angry, but nodded appreciatively: "Indeed, in order to get the actual test results as soon as possible, we have adopted some tricky methods. This will also allow these children to have a long time to re-understand and rethink at least after breaking through the eighth level, before they can enter a higher realm. I'm glad you understood that, and I'm sure the old guy will be happy too. The principal had already taken the lead and walked to other places, and Zhao Li also followed.
"This is the place to practice." When the principal appeared, the people in the venue were practicing on their own, and only those who were close to the principal noticed this side would salute the principal. Many people are so focused that they don't seem to see anyone coming in at all.
Zhao Li looked at those sweaty people, and couldn't help but nod in his heart. No matter how talented the qualifications are, they also need hard cultivation, and here, there are obviously no lazy people.
After passing through the huge driving range, we entered another building. Here, it seems that all of a sudden, the vigilance is ten times stricter, and even the headmaster needs to carefully verify the iris and handprints before they can be opened. took Zhao Li into the first door, and then a staff member stepped forward and handed the principal an identification card.
"Take it, here, you will always verify your identity." With a simple substitution, Zhao Li already understood the role of this identification card. I reached out and took it and put it on my body.
After passing through several doors in a row, each time the door will be opened after the inspection of the instrument and the manual control of the staff inside. Obviously, this is where the school for the gifted keeps their secrets.
"You guessed it." The principal said to Zhao Li without looking back: "This is the school's reference room. Everything you need to check is here. ”
In the top-secret conference room, there were only two people, Zhao Li and the principal. This conference room, according to Zhao Li's eyes, is definitely a safe place that can withstand a large-yield attack. On the surface, it's a building, but in reality, the real secrets are all underground.
The hospitality of a genius school does not seem to be the kind of simple politeness and etiquette. Accompanied by the principal, but there is not even a cup of tea prepared here, which seems to be a bit shabby.
"Bring the stuff!" After a while, the door of the conference room knocked lightly, and after the principal signaled, a middle-aged man carried an inconspicuous-looking wooden box, respectfully put it in front of the principal, and then went out after a silent salute.
The headmaster stroked the box as if he were caressing something dear to him. After rubbing for a long time, he gently pushed the box in front of Zhao Li.
"What is this?" Zhao Li didn't know what the principal meant, so he didn't open the box, but asked the principal.
"It's rare to invite people over, and you can't get your hands on anything decent." The principal smiled slightly: "This is specially created by the master according to your martial arts characteristics, do you try to fit hands or not?" ”
Weapons? Zhao Li became interested. I know that when I come to the genius school this time, I will definitely not return empty-handed. Just now, I refused the principal's personal guidance to break through the seventh-level bottleneck, and now the real thing is on the table. This kind of vigorous co-optation, what does the genius school want to do?
However, Zhao Li will not refuse this kind of object sent to the door, whether it is agreeable or not, he will always know after seeing it. Pulled the box and glanced at the principal again, the principal nodded, and Zhao Li opened it gently.
The box was not large, more than a foot long, and when it opened, it revealed the contents of the box. As soon as Zhao Li's gaze focused on the things inside, it seemed that he couldn't move away anymore.
Inside is a simple lattice with some flannel on it. On top of the flannel, there is a T-shaped police crutch quietly. The length and size are exactly the same as the one used by Zhao Li.
The appearance of the police crutch is very ordinary, and the metal products should have been worn, and they are not aggressive at all. The horizontal and vertical crutches of the T-shape are wrapped in a black plastic-like substance, and the matte surface is not surprising. But I don't know why, Zhao Li seems to be able to feel that the police cane is calling to him again, as if a little elf who is familiar with Zhao Li is imprisoned inside.
It looks like an ordinary police cane, but it is slightly different from an ordinary police cane, the lowest part of the police cane, which was originally a blunt head, has now been changed to a thorn that resembles a triangular military thorn. Only at that tip of the point did there be a brilliance that looked like the size of a grain of rice. The natural extension of the tip of the thorn, about two inches, is perfectly combined with the original police crutch.
This is a design that can be used as both a police abduction and a military assassination. And just such a simple change can allow Zhao Li to use it on the battlefield, and it is more powerful than a simple police crutch. Compared with military stabs, Zhao Li is more familiar with the use of police abductions.
After staring at it for a while, Zhao Licai reached out and took out the police crutch stuck in the lattice from inside, I don't know what kind of metal it is made of, the weight is moderate, and he shook a few flowers casually, which was extremely smooth.
"Do you feel comfortable?" The principal was on the side, quietly waiting for Zhao Li to slowly complete the experiment. Zhao Li nodded, and the tricks in his hands became more and more frequent.
"This is a unique alloy formula discovered by military research institutes more than 100 years ago. This alloy, after effectively solving the problem of hardness, itself also has a strong flexibility, and is the best material for making special weapons. The principal saw that Zhao Li liked it and began to introduce him slowly.
"Then there should be a lot of such weapons now?" Zhao Li stopped what he was doing and gently put the police crutch back into the box. If it's just a big road goods, then why accept this flashy favor?
"Strictly speaking, there is only one such weapon now." The principal looked at the T-shaped crutch that Zhao Li put back: "This is the only one." ”
The principal's answer puzzled Zhao Li, and he looked at the principal with puzzled eyes, as if he was waiting for his explanation.
"Although this alloy is very suitable for weapons, it has a fatal weakness." The principal didn't sell off, and directly began to tell: "When the alloy formula was successful, the researchers found that the metal could not maintain a fixed shape, and every few minutes, the shape of the alloy would change a little, and it would change irregularly, and it could not be used in any way at all. ”
Listening to the principal's introduction, Zhao Li couldn't help but look at the police crutch in the box. Isn't this a fixed pattern? How can it not be used?
"Researchers in the military are starting to give up. But the project was discovered by a researcher at our school, who continued to study the small sample size. The principal also knew Zhao Li's doubts, and did not stop explaining: "After almost several years of research, I finally found that the generation of this form lies in the fact that the internal stress inside the alloy cannot be released in a short period of time. ”
"Time is the best way to eliminate the internal stress of the metal, but, unfortunately, this alloy is special, after more than 30 years of storage, it still maintains the original special surname, and the internal stress is still not completely released." The principal stretched out his hand, took the police crutch in his hand, and carefully rubbed it a few times.
It could be seen that the principal had something to do with this police abduction, Zhao Li didn't say anything, and listened quietly.
"Later, when I took charge of the school, I was still short of a weapon to take advantage of, so I thought about this alloy." The principal's affection for this piece of metal is indeed extraordinary: "So, I took this piece of alloy in my hand and began to penetrate it with my own internal force, releasing the internal stress buffer inside it little by little. ”
"At that time, I thought that as long as I finally succeeded, I could have a good weapon." Speaking of this, the principal himself shook his head: "I didn't expect that this would take more than sixty years, and finally this metal training was formed, but I found that I didn't need to use any weapons anymore." ”
Quite reluctantly put down the police crutch, the principal smiled bitterly: "I invited you over a few days ago, I didn't know what to send you after thinking about it, I remembered it, so I made it a guy you are familiar with, I hope you can like it." ”
"Then I can't win people's love!" Hearing that this thing had such a history, Zhao Li couldn't keep calm. People have been holding things in their hands for 60 years, even if they are a piece of stubborn iron, they have feelings, and they can't say that because they want to bribe themselves, they will snatch love.
"It's okay!" The headmaster smiled and shook his head: "Just take it." In the past few decades, I have not been sure what kind of weapon to make, although the kung fu has reached that state, but the state of mind has never really let go. You have taken it, but it is a wish of mine, and I can really enter that realm! ”
"Headmaster, what kind of realm is that, can you tell me about it?" Zhao Li keenly seized the opportunity and asked the principal a question. Tricking to help Zhao Li break through the seventh-level bottleneck is nothing compared to the understanding in this realm. This kind of good opportunity, if the principal is willing to give advice, is more surprising than getting ten police crutches.
